CWD safe to eat or not?

Even the most "low-life" hunters take the meat.
These days many (both low and high life) don't care about the meat.

Too much work and many don't even know how to do it.

But they will take a head or horns to be mounted to impress their idiot buddies.

Meat is more valued when the economy crashes and people are hurting for money.

That could happen soon the way things look now.

You definitely don’t understand the southern deer hunter, sure there is some wanton waste and if caught the penalties are fairly harsh but I would say 99%+ of deer hunters consume the meat and donate what they can’t use.
Making such an inflammatory and blanket statement of hunters is disrespectful of the millions of good ethical hunters in the world not to mention on this forum.
 
I just found out the elk I killed tested positive for chronic wasting disease. Unfortunately my cooler stopped working and I had to take it to town and have it processed immediately and was unable to wait for the test to come back before processing it. As far as I can tell there has never been a case of it transmitting to humans, but the CDC says not to eat it. I got $864 in the processing and I really hate to throw it away. What do you guys think? Eat or throw.
DONT EVEN THINK about it!!!!! What is $864 compared to your life? There is no cure for this. I would even go so far to get rid of the freezer or completely defrost, both bleach then viniger before I used again

I blame RFK Jr and MAHA, they've gotta be behind this shit somehow!!!
I don't know how but it has to be, because of fascism and stuff!

I should have mentioned that the usage of meat depends a lot on geography.

Areas like Appalachia or other poor and hungry locales are naturally going to have little meat wasted.

Good point.

I’m neither poor nor hungry, I prefer game meats, game birds, fish and shellfish that I harvest myself. With today’s commercial farming it’s much healthier and to my eye safer.
I’ve seen waste and full utilization of game in all of the states and countries I’ve hunted and geography and culture definitely play a roll in both.

Oh lord, all my friends tag out , their wives tag out + we go tuna fishing in Mexico
100% is eaten, it must be a age or culture thing because we eat off the grid
 
I think age is a big part of it.

Younger folk are on their phones and if they need meat they call to have a pizza delivered.

Much easier and less messy.
 
There are plenty of hunters in the world that will take greater chances on protein sources. Or, as they see it; Dinner!

It's not just Southern hunters that.he.doesn't understand. It's this way all over the world. Of all the ignorant, inciteful things that Frostbite has written, which are too many to list, this one earns an extra star.
 
My favorite part of this entire thread is the number of people who don’t read what was already posted and then post anyway. . .

Funny!

Trump is pretty old, so I'm not sure how he did it, but he must have been responsible for scrapie being described in sheep in 1732. I'm sure Frostbite will have a fact based and verified explanation (Hahahaha!)

Frosty and I got it figured out, that's what Bobby Jr was doing with that dead bear in college. Spreading prions from ursidae to cervidae! Methalene Blue, that stuff is loaded with prions!
 
I should add to my earlier post that I live in Pike county Illinois, a large whitetail hunting destination. I’d say most of the discarded deer are from those who have to travel a long ways. There are donation drop off sites that will process unwanted deer and give them to food pantries. This has really cut back on the ditch finds.
I don’t think a ban on eating venison would slow down the deer hunting much let alone CWD.
For the record I haven’t eaten venison in over 5 years even though I have killed at least one deer every fall. I have older friends who can’t hunt like they used too that enjoy the meat.
We raise beef cattle and I just won’t walk past a beef T bone to eat a deer.

Not only that...........Bobby has scientists working on a vaccine for CWD.

It will be ready in weeks.

He's sending the Proud Boys to vax all the deer and elk.

That's what they've been standing by for.

Your whining is bringing tears to my eyes.

Oh, the humanity.

I don’t know buddy. We rased cows to.
I would rather have deer than most beef except longhorn/aunges cross ribeye
But my dad was like you rather have beef and really only ate deer because of me or at the hunting club.
By the time I was 14 he had a deer frezer for me.
But I have all ways perferd wild meat
I even like bear.

We’ll just have to disagree I guess. I don’t mind deer and have eaten several of them. I’m just a beef man I suppose.
